In the aftermath of last week’s fiasco in Boston, a discussion needs to be had regarding the duties of the police to protect the citizens.

As the NY Times states below, they have no duty to protect you. That is why your home should have a gun, and you need to be trained in proper usage of a firearm.

Otherwise, good luck to you if you are dependent upon the police for protection.

Justices Rule Police Do Not Have a Constitutional Duty to Protect Someone

By LINDA GREENHOUSEPublished: June 28, 2005

WASHINGTON, June 27 - The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that the police did not have a constitutional duty to protect a person from harm, even a woman who had obtained a court-issued protective order against a violent husband making an arrest mandatory for a violation.

The decision, with an opinion by Justice Antonin Scalia and dissents from Justices John Paul Stevens and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, overturned a ruling by a federal appeals court in Colorado.

In 2000, 174 children (0-18) in the United States died from unintentional firearm-related injuries. Unintentional injuries are usually caused when children play with guns or are hunting.

Unintentional injuries from firearms represent less than two percent of all firearm deaths in the U.S. But of this two percent, children and adolescents are involved in 55% of these deaths. The majority of the injuries occur to children playing with or showing the weapons to friends. The easy availability of firearms is believed to be the number one risk factor for unintentional firearm deaths.

WTF is wrong with that jackass that keeps following me around spewing crapola from the vast emp[tiness that it portrays as a brain?"trained in proper usage"If you dorks want to be unarmed while some loser decides he wants to take your property, your life, or your children's lives, then go for it fella.Dumb f-ing Libs. You wait for the cops to protect you. They won't.But lots of us that are smarter than you will attend your funeral.

You're reall,really overrating yourself you ignorant wingnut beetch!if you're so smarter than us than why can't your smart as win a General Election?BTW: justice Scalia and thomas are just wacky teabagger operatives.also.

I cannot answer your question regarding your stalker. But here are some interesting numbers that the terminally slewpid don't like to see.

About 16,000 children die from hunger or hunger related causes every day!(world wide)

That's about one every five seconds.

Roughly 30,000 children die from preventable diseases every day.(again, world wide)

About 16,000,000 kids go to bed hungry every night in the USA. 16,000,000!!

These facts rarely if ever hit the front page of the papers or are even discussed. There is no "outrage" in Congress or from families affected by these numbers. There is no "outrage" in the press or long interviews with the people affected.

So, in light of these facts, if you really care about the children, don't you think we need to rethink our priorities?

Hi fake black guy. You ask why I can't win a general election? What a dumb question.

1. I have never run for political office. Unlike you though, I do participate in the politica process.

2. If I did run for political office, I would not try to buy votes from the low information voters lke you.

BTW, nice comment about 2 of the Supreme Court Justices. Too bad they are not intllectual giants like you. I bet they wish they were fake black guys in fake middle management jobs pretending they were smart like you.

Especially, if it distract form preventible gun deaths, in Bangladesh, India... right ? LMAOROFU~!

Look at what happened in Watertown Ma. There were thousands of COPs and one punk and they still couldn't search all the boats in yards.

So you living anywhere without thousands of COPs around there is NO WAY the COPs will protect you. Especially if you live outside the metro. The majority of outstate counties have average response times of 30 mins.

NEVER rely on COPs to protect you.Look at what happened in Watertown Ma.

It is not the job of a cop to protect anyone. The US Supreme Court said so.

Those that live on the government plantation and think they are safe are fools.
